Pistachio Madeleines with Chocolate Sorbet

This makes for a perfect combination, but you may also like to serve the madeleines with a simple vanilla ice cream or even a dessert pear. They go well with the strawberries too instead of the lime shortbread. So many flavours seem to be made for madeleines – vanilla, cinnamon, star anise, hazelnut, orange, honey – but, for me, the one thing you certainly can’t beat is when they are served warm straight out of the oven.
